WELCOME to the Lord's House today! May God help us to worship Him in

spirit and in truth! Before you leave, guests are requested to sign the

guest book, which is located in the narthex. Both guests and members

are asked to fill out an attendance card, located in the pews, returning it

as you leave. We invite you to return and worship with us again. If you do

not have a regular church home, then we invite you to join our family.

May this celebration of the mercy of God enrich your spiritual life and be

uplifting for each one of you.

A COMFORT ROOM is available during the Sunday services for young

children and their parents. There are many toys and books available. If

you need help, directions, or have any questions, please ask an usher.

HOLY COMMUNION

In accordance with the historic practice of the Christian Church, our

congregation practices close communion, meaning that normally our

members and members of our sister (LCMS) congregations commune

here. Please speak to the pastor about exceptions to this general

practice. Please also note that this practice in no way intends to comment

on the state of anyone else’s faith: we simply understand our communing

together is also a public profession of unity in doctrine, which not

everyone shares. Those who do not commune here may come forward for

a blessing (simply fold your arms over your heart to indicate that you are

not communing) or remain in the pew during communion and pray.

LIFE THOUGHT

“My body, my choice,” says a sinful world. “You did not choose me, but I

chose you” (John 15:16), answers a loving God. Motherhood comes about

by His gift, not because of our will. Choice forces us to look out only for

number one, but grace invites us to “love one another as I have loved

you” (John 15:12). Praise the Lord for mother’s love!

PRAYER BEFORE WORSHIP

O Lord, our creator, redeemer, and comforter, as we come together to

worship You in spirit and in truth, we humbly pray that You would open

our hearts to the preaching of Your Word so that we may repent of our

sins, believe in Jesus Christ as our only Savior, and grow in grace and

holiness. Hear us for His sake. Amen.

INVOCATION AND OPENING RESPONSORY

L: In the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit.

C: Amen.

L: Alleluia! Christ is risen!

C: He is risen indeed! Alleluia!

CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION

L: Not only is He risen,

C: He is also ascended to the right hand of God, the seat of authority.

L: God has placed all things under His feet,

C: Things in heaven and things on earth.

L: Our tongues declare it.

C: Our mouths sing it.

L: But often, our lives do not confess it. So let us go before the Lord

Jesus, who is the head of the church, seeking His pardon.

C: Lord Jesus Christ, You are Lord of heaven and earth. Nothing

happens in this world or in our lives without Your permitting it. Yet I

have doubted. I have doubted Your power and Your goodness and

have tried to rule my life in Your stead. In fear, I have withheld words

and deeds that were called for, and so I have failed to serve my

neighbor. Have mercy on me, Lord Jesus. Forgive my sin and give me

faith to trust Your rule in my life. Amen.

P: Jesus Christ rules over all things. He has conquered sin and death by

dying and rising again. And He conquered them for you. As a called and

ordained ambassador of Jesus Christ, in His stead and by His command, I

forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father, and of the T Son, and

of the Holy Spirit.

C: Amen.

L: The Lord be with you.

C: And also with you.

L: Let us pray.

and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

(Please be seated)

FIRST READING Acts 1:1-11

In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began

to do and teach, until the day when he was taken up, after he had given

9

commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had

chosen. To them he presented himself alive after his suffering by many

proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the

kingdom of God.

And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from

Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said,

“you heard from me; for John baptized with water, but you will be

baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at

this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them, “It is not for

you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own

authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come

upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea

and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” And when he had said these

things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him

out of their sight. And while they were gazing into heaven as he went,

behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, “Men of

Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was

taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw

him go into heaven.”

L: This is the Word of the Lord.

C: Thanks be to God.

PSALM 47

L: Clap your hands, all peoples!

Shout to God with loud songs of joy!

C: For the LORD, the Most High, is to be feared,

a great king over all the earth.

L: He subdued peoples under us,

and nations under our feet.

C: He chose our heritage for us,

the pride of Jacob whom he loves.

L: God has gone up with a shout,

the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.

C: Sing praises to God, sing praises!

Sing praises to our King, sing praises!

L: For God is the King of all the earth;

sing praises with a psalm!

C: God reigns over the nations;

God sits on his holy throne.

L: The princes of the peoples gather

as the people of the God of Abraham.

C: For the shields of the earth belong to God;

he is highly exalted!

10

EPISTLE Ephesians 1:15-23

For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus

and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for

you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus

Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of

revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts

enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has

called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who

believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in

Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right

hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power

and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this

age but also in the one to come. And he put all things under his feet

and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body,

the fullness of him who fills all in all.

L: This is the Word of the Lord.

C: Thanks be to God.

(Please stand)

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION

HOLY GOSPEL Luke 24:44-53

L: The Holy Gospel according to St. Luke, the twenty-fourth chapter.

C: Glory to You, O Lord.

Then [Jesus] said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you

while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of

Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” Then he

opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and said to them,

“Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day

rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should

be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

You are witnesses of these things. And behold, I am sending the

promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are

clothed with power from on high.”

Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he

blessed them. While he blessed them, he parted from them and was

11

carried up into heaven. And they worshiped him and returned to

Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple blessing

God.

L: This is the Gospel of the Lord.

C: Praise to You, O Christ.

NICENE CREED

C: I believe in one God,

the Father Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth

and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the only-begotten Son of God,

begotten of His Father before all worlds,

God of God, Light of Light,

very God of very God,

begotten, not made,

being of one substance with the Father,

by whom all things were made;

who for us men and for our salvation came down from

heaven

and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary

and was made man;

and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate.

He suffered and was buried.

And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures

and ascended into heaven

and sits at the right hand of the Father.

And He will come again with glory to judge both the living

and the dead,

whose kingdom will have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the Lord and giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and

glorified,

who spoke by the prophets.

And I believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church,

I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins,

and I look for the resurrection of the dead

and the life T of the world to come. Amen.

PREFACE LSB 177

P: It is truly good, right, and salutary that we should at all times and in all

places give thanks to You, holy Lord, almighty Father, everlasting God,

through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who after His resurrection appeared

openly to all His disciples and in their sight was taken up into heaven that

He might make us partakers of His divine life. Therefore with angels and

archangels and with all the company of heaven we laud and magnify Your

glorious name, evermore praising You and saying:

14

SANCTUS LSB 178

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

P: Blessed are You, Lord of heaven and earth, for You have had mercy on

those whom You created and sent Your only-begotten Son into our flesh

to bear our sin and be our Savior. With repentant joy we receive the

salvation accomplished for us by the all-availing sacrifice of His body and

His blood on the cross.

Gathered in the name and the remembrance of Jesus, we beg You, O

Lord, to forgive, renew, and strengthen us with Your Word and Spirit.

Grant us faithfully to eat His body and drink His blood as He bids us do in

His own testament. Gather us together, we pray, from the ends of the

earth to celebrate with all the faithful the marriage feast of the Lamb in

His kingdom, which has no end. Graciously receive our prayers; deliver

and preserve us. To You alone, O Father, be all glory, honor, and worship,

with the Son and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

C: Amen.

THE WORDS OF OUR LORD

P: Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the night when He was betrayed, took bread,

and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to the disciples

and said: “Take, eat; this is My T body, which is given for you. This do in

remembrance of Me.”

15

In the same way also He took the cup after supper, and when He had

given thanks, He gave it to them, saying: “Drink of it, all of you; this cup

is the new testament in My T blood, which is shed for you for the

forgiveness of sins. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of

Me.”

PROCLAMATION OF CHRIST

P: As often as we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim the

Lord’s death until He comes. C: Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

LORD’S PRAYER

P: O Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, in giving us Your body and

blood to eat and to drink, You lead us to remember and confess Your

holy cross and passion, Your blessed death, Your rest in the tomb, Your

resurrection from the dead, Your ascension into heaven, and Your coming

for the final judgment. So remember us in Your kingdom and teach us to

pray: C: Our Father who art in heaven,

hallowed be Thy name,

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done on earth

as it is in heaven;

give us this day our daily bread;

and forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those

who trespass against us;

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the kingdom

and the power and the glory

forever and ever. Amen.

PAX DOMINI

P: The peace of the Lord be with you always.

C: Amen.

of His coming, we may, together with all Your saints, celebrate the

CLOSING HYMN: Crown Him with Many Crowns (LSB 525)

Please turn in your attendance card as you leave.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK – "I preach that he [Christ] sits on the right

hand of God and rules over all creatures, sin, death, life, world, devils,

and angels; if you believe this, you already have him in your heart.

Therefore your heart is in heaven, not in an apparition or dream, but

truly. For where he is, there you are also. So he dwells and sits in

your heart, yet he does not fall from the right hand of God. Christians

experience and feel this clearly." Martin Luther

3. BIBLE STUDY –Temptation . . . sometimes it’s obvious, sometimes it’s

so subtle that you don’t even realize it’s happening. Regardless, EVERY

Christian is tempted, and usually even more than the non-Christian. Join

us for a study of the spiritual battle we all face as we read through C. S.

Lewis’ classic The Screwtape Letters. As we bring this book together with

Scripture, you will have a greater understanding of what temptation is

and how to war against it. Pastor Dressler will provide a copy for $8 if you

do not have one. Just let him know, or call the office, if you would like

one. Alternatively, PDF versions are available online.

To access by phone: 415-762-9988 or 646-568-7788. Follow the prompts

once you dial in to enter the Meeting ID when asked (798 4070 1280#).

4. STEP UP 4 LIFE is kicking off today. This will be the first time

Lutherans for Life is doing a fund raising campaign. The dates are May

8th through July 5th. Our Salem Chapter will have a team and we are

inviting everyone to participate on our team. You can choose to donate

an amount of money per mile you run, jog or walk. You can also choose

to add “miles” by mowing the lawn, rocking in a rocking chair, weight

lifting, dancing, slide dancing, hip hop, swinging, reading, wheel chair,

singing, drumming, etc. You get the idea! You can be creative!

Or you may wish to donate a lump sum. Either way, we know Salem

Lutheran Church is a Life Church. We know we will Step Up 4 Life. We

will let you how our team is doing.

Please see our Life members to ask questions or donate. Mary Stellhorn,
